The Intersection of Cloud and Mobility

The New Frontiers in IT and Measurement Science

Rapid advances in mobile cloud computing are bringing sweeping changes to the way mobile computing and communication services are delivered around the globe. More than an incremental change, mobile cloud computing is expected to radically alter users' working and life styles.


From Cloud and Mobility ~ Cloud provides ubiquitous, on-demand, elastic, self-configurable, cost effective computing. Mobile devices are accessible, convenient gadgets, with regional wireless communication services and limited data services that have limited computing and power resources.

To Cloud Mobility ~ Low-end mobile devices access diverse and scalable cloud computing resources and globally connected mobile enabled resources to receive unlimited mobile application services.

As part of its continuing cloud computing series, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is hosting a new forum on Cloud and Mobility. Join experts in the fields of cloud, mobility, and measurement for thought-provoking plenary talks, panel presentations, facilitated breakout discussion, poster sessions, and networking around these themes:

  • Federal Perspectives on Cloud and Mobility
  • The Vision for Cloud and Mobility
  • Current State of Cloud and Mobility Intersections
  • Intersections of Cloud and Mobility on the Horizon
  • Bringing Mobility and Cloud Together
  • Challenges and Lessons Learned
  • Path Forward to a Federated Mobile Cloud
  • Lessons Learned in Mobility
  • Challenges for Cloud and Mobility, including
    • Use Cases, Technologies, Consumer Issues
    • Domain- and Sector-Specific Perspectives

    Breakout sessions will feature discussion of issues and actions:

    Future Directions for Cloud and Mobility

  • Federated Community Cloud Roadmap PAP
  • Accessibility Cloud Roadmap PAP
  • The Future Cloud and its Implications for Mobility
  • The Future of Mobility and its Implications for the Cloud
